If I may speak on NCD's behalf, this is a known problem with the NCD box.  
As NCD's recent newsletter, the "NCD Xtra" reports, a fix that will let
XDM work is coming.  I'm not sure if it's a fix to xdm or a fix to the
NCD's boot software, but I suppose it really doesn't make any difference.
I asked their support people for a release date, but all I heard (as I
recall) was that it was planned for the 2.1 boot tape release... that
should be several months, I should think, considering they're on 1.6.2
right now.
